I seek the remembrance of a life once lived

the overwhelming feeling of despair as one ages

without a desire to give others your feeling of loss,

which is better a prepared fool that believes in

someone who forgives the lies one participated in, 

the taking away of some ones property for profit

or the angry boy growing up to be an angry man

blaming others for his inability to be open with ideas

that could have guided his awareness of caring for

families living in squalor, making friends that seek

another's trust that became your freedom to be yourself

with open eyes knowing that a liberation is coming and

wealth must be brought to justice in the wars they create and the

brutal treatment of cultures that have a right to their own lives

comprehensive disaster
man made delusion of
selfish lies, for the destruction
of our world has moved
forward at an impossible speed
to change the flow of wealth's
greed, there is no beginning 
now, once there was hope we
felt the beauty of the land
without destroying this spec

of dust, this mother earth,
they own us as our lords of 
today stripping the people of 
their independence, the profits
they steal for their greed only, 
their eyes hollow without depth
for they only think of themselves
as masters of this universe for 
an invisible god allows them to 
rape, murder and exploit innocence
 
under the table hidden lies for
the profits they receive gives them
a big chest, a big mouth and a lost
hope that this planet will survive
their evil natures, while the people
suffer and die without food, crops
dried, wealth buying their land to 
perform their nasty ways abandoning
all little people that are meaningless
and only present for exploitation  
 
while yachts have parties to enjoy 
their feasts of taking what is not
theirs to begin with and destroying
lands around the world for just 
one thing money, these criminal 
minds love their hourly deposits
in off shore accounts while children 
starve, land is stolen, and every once 
in a blue moon these oligarchs of
sinful nature turn a different reality

turning wise, loving men and women
just ordinary families enjoying giving
death to the populace, soundless the 
grace of mother earth, and lets not forget
their delusions of grandeur, these criminal
vices taking innocence for their pleasures
destroying lives, taking from the people
their own truths and making them fit 
nicely into work crews getting pennies 
on the dollar as more wars blossom

and more ego's blossom into the darkness
of evil demanding we worship these animals
of power that murder for pleasure owned by 
the rich that paid their lackies a pretty penny

we live as one trapped by those of powerful greed
that rule this mother earth for profit, money collected
from the poor and the middle class breaking apart,
broken hearts, minds once promising now discarded
slaves to the oligarchs that steal our income on a

daily basis, leaving us peasants losing ground breaking
apart as the one percent gain more and more property
by buying farmers lands that have been destroyed
by earths changing patterns as fires burn, tsunami 
creating havoc as climate warms disasters gain
 
momentum and migrations grow in numbers as people
flee countries as families realize that they must leave to 
survive the corruption of wealth stealing ones life now 
looking for a place they can live without being afraid,
our planet has been corrupted and destroyed by 

criminal greed, tearing away at our earthly soil for
more and more profits of destruction for oil is their
addiction as money interests of uncaring ego's sip their
wine without remorse for the rich ignore the truth and the
child's screams of pain, the murdering of innocent human
 
beings by their deadly actions just for a little more
profits, these little minds have one purpose to be the
new gods of hell's growing purpose here on this little
spec of dust as earth fights back by destroying mankind
for their lack of empathy and love for mother earth and
themselves

childhood laughter your release from being
stuck good or bad in a catholic school where
wooden paddles burnt your bare bottom
 
why is a question that most people can't
truly answer as truth, or lies, for each of us 
have lost our own experiences that once
 
had shaped our minds to believe in ourselves
but now we have been indoctrinated as we
grew up to believe in the words of lying
 
ego's looking for profits instead of helping 
human beings with independent ideas rather than
words that instill in us a behavior of intense hate
 
which creates barriers to our future hopes,
our future lives put on hold to bow to wealth
and leave behind our truths, our own ideas
 
as this planet spins out of control with
irrational thoughts producing more and 
more violence and human death for power
 
we need more than just a physical presence
undermining our hopes for a better future
we must press forward extending a helping
 
hand to those in dyer straits, all of us, for
just a colorful smile can relieve one of the
extensive brutality of those without morals
 
or a common grouping of men expressing
hate toward other human beings without 
opening their hearts toward their futures

the polluted minds growing more aggressive 
seeking a display of pain in the dissection of 
ones freedom as your openness and vocal 
despair begins a society growing violent and
attacking those human's that don't belong,
that have invaded our lands and taken our 
cross and our jobs away but underneath these
human facades lurk a truth that is never visible
for these men, women and children have been
bought and sold into these dying states with
born again lies, as anger braces itself in a new
shallow hope but really it is a trick, a meaningful
caring smile toward those of different colored
skin and without a means of escape the racists
attack innocent human beings as if they were
animals without minds of their own faith, with
expressions of pain and loneliness earning peanuts 
for their 16 hour days as their lives get twisted and
abused, crumbling in desperation and hopelessness 
as the climate breaks apart our lives and destroys 
crops, lakes, rivers, homes, cities as violence spreads 
across the world in a reality that believes in a god that 
doesn't exist, a god that gives pain to his creations
without an ounce of sympathy for those starving

the ritual of a life's preposterous joy at the wealth's wonderful mansions, acres of property and armed guards to protect their devilish deeds, destroying lives for profit, their god is money earned by insider trading, words that flow into the ears of the rich and their accountants know the underhanded scams created by their master's, these men and women demanding nature's care, making sure that beauty in nature resides around their massive properties with mother nature blossoming under the wonderful warm sunlight for these aggressive oligarchs seek or should I say demand that all seek to be complacent and anticipate the needs of their masters, for the 1% own human beings only for one goal, to do their dirty work for them and always make a killing when loaning cash to the little people, their servants work like devils to get paid a decent, meaningful amount yet limited by their stingy circus owners never wanting to give any cash to anyone but themselves, not even these men and women living in poverty, for the wealthy believe they worked hard to create their self worth, billions of dollars made off the backs of the working class making sure these men of selfish greed undermine the workers efforts to climb up the ladder of success by being paid a good salary for their effort in a reality out of touch with empathy for the masses

Waiting

the simplicity of thoughts can change your future, a yearning, deception, forbidden, remember to sing loudly

in churches silent stillness, your faith has given it’s true worth, nightmare’s always end in alley ways, in the homes of the

desperate asking god to save their poor souls from more laws of avarice, wicked gifts of golden vice, resenting the

mourners accusation of treacherous acts of violence toward innocent blood, depleting of our natural resources in the hearts distress

-----

of slavish desire, thoughtless and guiltless, the simplicity of taking from others for themselves, abuse of god’s single virtue, his truth,

his cross to bare, his path, a glorious tortured liberation, his fellow martyrs rise and parade to the alter for communion as they taste

his flesh and blood, in guilt they breath stale air in his presence above the alter of worship, his sacrifice worth the pain of time

now he is sacrificed daily with prayers demanding a sanctified life without guilt, as the priests have a compulsive need to be

-----

our god in their presence, for sins overwhelming his sincerity of forgiveness for we are washed of our sins for we are our

sins and jesus was just a man sacrificing himself so his earthly father would see his true presence, a wish to die in his presence

as ancient gods, slumbering truth, powerless humans hesitant, seeking trust, a vanishing memento, our deceit in the

fear not in the awareness of our sinful necessity for violence, duplicity of thoughts perpetuating their vistas of grandeur

-----

retreat from the confrontation of the senses in burrowing, faithless, shallow defecation, as duty hides in the void of silent

despair, becoming other than this grouping of external chaos accepting devilish aggression as god’s will, the hunger for his

love hinges on the dutiful act of blindness towards innocence deflecting the inkling of truth that wants to rise but driven

deeper into the void of ego’s desperate deception, giving the faithful a touching of the flesh and evils youthful disguise,

-----

his single purpose, to see the worshipers consumed by madness, for his son’s dutiful presence, oh how we suffer before leaving

paradise, we hide under the illusion of tearful retribution giving credence to the power of suggestion, destroying the undercurrent

of our will, they are sightless in their glorious lust, these men of distractions, their lies whisper a coming messiah, the end

follows a nurturing disguise, in hate of oneself we seek to be fodder, a sacrificial lamb, waiting patiently to take our master and

-----

eat his flesh and raise the challis of his blood to the gods of hate, please be seated the glorious mass will soon start let us pray oh god, your silence deafening without cause as we slip into oblivion

listen to the aggressive nature
of our existing realization that 
we are doomed and left alone
to fight our battles in life as human
nature moves beyond recognition
as people begin understanding that 
when we turn on each other, as the 
oligarchs demand, splitting up our
youthful understanding, as hate grows
and anger builds we try and run from 
our future's desolation as mother 
nature seeks to give back to the wealth's
greed and brings forth an unbelievable
mastery over man's last days on this
dying planet, once a paradise now
destroyed by greed from the masters 
of deceit, claiming it was all for the people
 
religion is a sacrifice of your life that
hinders you from exploring the infinite
revelations that are waiting for your
discovery, the reality we live and the
hopes we share are abandoned now
in the vice of powerful thieves, you will
not break down the oligarchs exterior
facade coated with praise and prayer 
for the people's salvation, but the truth
is that these high an mighty crooks are
born to exploit the reality of human 
nature by instilling fear in the minds
of the worker, some climb up to a role
of ego power, brown noising the riches
ass for underneath their coated egotistical
desire for power,they too are only pawns 
owned by the 1%, 

church is a symbol of our holy invisible
savior that was crucified on a wooden
cross for his words of faith, our narrow
vision coming forth to hinder our minds
in a realization that what we wanted to 
be in growing up was the same as our 
holy father expressing our openness, 
allowing our ideas to come to fruition,
our hopes, our possibilities to be 
expressed without feeling other ideas
becoming our holy execution for god is
a sinner, a father that abandoned his flock, 
the devil, a violent ghost trying to undermine
gods/christ true nature, just a man in a book,
 
or novel, that just happened to be made
in the likes of early holy men and women 
willing to murder or sacrifice those non-
believers that tried to undermine the 
elites of vice, their ability to placate the
people with a book that only represents
a man trying to bring mankind together
but instead the kings and queens wanted
to placate the people so they too will follow like
like pavlovs dog shitting in their own food

the alteration of ones mind in time

creating a direct means of escape

where one wants, demands to

seek his truth rarely fulfilled

by voices passivity of inaction        

not understood, for each moment

in our lives has infinite possibilities as

we try seeking answers in our physical

façade as it becomes madness for

who we are and what will be is

a mixture of doubt and the realization

of ones future and your intuitive

expression that this reality is an

existence that one needs to flow

into, your world of possibilities

moving forward toward originality

Photography is no longer an art form, no longer a deep feeling of independence. Once upon a time in our past individuality photographers had their own special expressions created through a film based reality. The waiting for your images being processed was always nerve wracking, did I find the right lighting for the beauty before me, was the sunset or sunrise bold enough to get your composition as you move around the scene before you finally start setting up your tripod seeing the wonderful landscape developing as the sunlight overwhelms your senses with the beauty of mother earth awakening warm morning light that highlighted a calm water and the reflection of Mount Pilchuck along with evergreen trees surrounding the small lake as mother nature opens your mind and your intuitive force that gave you a special moment, your inner perception of a scene being created before you.

What we had in our photography youth was more than just a run and gun force of shooting everything for we trusted our editors. We didn't just snap pics and then just move on, but analyzed the landscape to connect our inner vision with nature and move through the beauty of the scene, we stopped and observed the scene before us and then dived into the scene as if we were on an expedition, sinking deeper into the beauty in front of us ignored by those in a hurry without depth of feeling and respect for the beautiful reality blossoming in front of all of us but you ignored the scene not ready to pause and study the landscape before your mother earth.

Getting a camera is exciting but the camera can’t create great images unless you are mentally and physically present seeking scenes that you can feel and be part of as you stand alone in dynamic beauty as the sunset light begins opening a mental realization that you are in the heart of creation, present in awe!

Everyone is a photographer and billions of images are created each second, hour, day on and on, each a conditioned response to a cliché that won’t give you the depth of enjoyment in realizing who you want to become and what attracts you to certain subjects.

Snapshots are photo copies of someone else's work and not your own vision of a scene or some person that brings a force to your inner revelations.

What is your response to a scene you saw in a magazine, what is your inner vision of how you would approach this subject and questions need to be sorted out for to not have some semblance of possibilities ready to explore within the landscape that is in front of you, that has potential as you observe the scene beginning to explode with colors and wonderful light.

There are moments in time we miss continuously because we are having a hard time focusing our attention on what is happening whether at sunset, sunrise or on the streets always be aware of your surroundings.

Just as we pass by an unusual scene that is just getting ready to blossom we must stop and have an inner vision of the potential before us.
